There are ways to lessen the chances of capsular contracture occurring

There are ways to lessen the chances of capsular contracture occurring. Capsular contracture is less common in saline implants that in silicone, though if you have small breasts, saline implants can wrinkle and become unsightly. When implants are placed underneath the layer up muscle, contracture is less common. This type of placement also affords a more natural look and feel. There is a belief that textured implants have a lower risk of capsular contracture than smooth ones.Capsular contracture sometimes results in the removal and replacement of implants or scoring of the scar tissue around the original implant. Either way, doing nothing is not an option. While all breast implant sizes have a capsule form around them, it is only when the scar tissue becomes excessive that the condition is qualified as capsular contracture.
